Hide and seek - and your 'toys'
So where is yours hidden? Could it be in your knicker drawer? At the very back of the bathroom cabinet? Is it stuffed under sweaters in your wardrobe? Or is it concealed in a sock in your tallboy?
Storing vibrators can be quite tricky. Your first priority is usually that you don’t want your ‘toy’ to be accindetally found…by your children for example – or maybe even by your hubby!
Your next priority should be to store your vibrator in such a way that it doesn’t become damaged. This is especially important if your new vibe is going to join other toys of different materials that may (or may not) react well with one another. Vibrators are also motorised objects that contain some metal parts so correct storage of your playmate is important.
Here are a few tips about storing your vibrator:
Don't store your vibes in direct sunlight (as if!) and remove all the batteries so that they do not corrode the metallic components of your vibrator. Leaving the batteries inside also wears the batteries down and so shortens their life.
Always store your sex toys in a dry place – moist places such as cupboards under bathroom sinks for example – can be damp and thriving places for bacteria to grow. Also, the metal battery strips in the vibrator's shaft don't mix well with moisture and can corrode.
Never expose vibrators to excessive heat. This could cause a combustible situation with your batteries or simply melt the materials.
Store your 'toys' separately - do not place them all together in the same drawer. The materials of some vibrators will discolor, stain or leave mildewy-looking marks on other ones. In particular, jelly vibrators and vinyl ones don’t go well together – the jelly appears to ‘warp’. If you keep them all the same drawer, at least make sure that each one is wrapped in its own pouch or container.
Do not keep vibrators where they can collect dust or animal hair, especially so with jelly vibrators that seem to be ‘magnets’ for fluff and airborne particles.
Do store your vibrator and any other toys you might have in a dark and dry place. Some people keep them in a drawer between cotton underwear or other clothing for padding. Keep your vibrator at room temperature; clean your toy thoroughly after each use and remove the batteries.
Store your vibes in a toy bag or pouch or in a special toy box. These storage products are usually velvet or satin and – if they're a box – they have some soft material with plush padding on the inside.
